Motorcycle Rear Swingarm Bearing & Seal Kits

Think of your motorbike's chassis as a skeleton - all the organs to make it work get bolted on. With electronic sensors & wiring as the nerves, shoulders made from triple clamps & handlebars connecting the forks as arms, plus stock linkages & swingarms as leg bones. They're called rear swing ARMS & front fork LEGS - but you don't ride backwards, right? So close enough.

Well, like your skeleton, your frame needs flexible joints connecting all those metal bones. These swingarm bearings give smooth friction-free wheel travel as it bumps up & down over terrain, often using several pieces; teflon ring bushes, open needle roller bearings in outer races, spherical bearings, inner spacer tubes, flanged collars, rubber lipped seals, o-rings, machined end caps, washers, wire retaining snap rings.

The shock absorber linkage bearings progressively push swing arm travel forces though the link, while shock absorber mounting bearings give back precise damping response from the coilover. Angular caged steering stem bearings at the head make for smooth cornering.
